Features Explained

1. Key Features

60× optical zoom and 120× Dynamic Fine Zoom in a compact body

The COOLPIX B600’s 60× optical zoom takes you from wide-angle 24 mm(*1) to super-telephoto 1440 mm(*1), with the option of going all the way to approx. 2880 mm(*1) using 120×(*2) Dynamic Fine Zoom — letting you capture everything from vast landscapes to close-ups of distant subjects. What’s more, in macro mode it can focus on subjects as close as approx. 1 cm/0.4 in. from the lens.

*1 35mm-format equivalent. *2 Magnification of Dynamic Fine Zoom is calculated from the maximum wide-angle position of optical zoom.

Creativity is built in, but you can still take the credit

The COOLPIX B600 is equipped with 19 scene modes, with which the user simply selects a mode according to the scene and the camera automatically optimizes settings to suit it. The Multiple Exposure Lighten function, one of the scene modes, is an effective way of capturing light trails such as the flow of car lights or motion of stars, comparing multiple images taken with interval timer photography and automatically compositing the brightest parts. With Smart portrait mode, you can enhance human faces by applying effects such as Skin softening and Foundation makeup. Creative mode allows you to make images just the way you want. By selecting from 9 effects, the camera saves four variations of your chosen effect and one image without effect simultaneously in one shot, offering different combinations of options such as appropriate aperture, contrast and color reproduction.

Superior operability as a high-power-zoom camera

While achieving a lightweight and compact body that is easy to carry, the COOLPIX B600 keeps you in charge as your subject or situation changes. Its 10-position Mode dial offers instant access to the shooting mode you want. The Snap-back zoom button makes framing easier when shooting fast-moving subjects through the viewfinder or during super-telephoto shooting, by temporarily expanding the angle of view if a subject is lost. And Side zoom control lets you control the zoom while holding the lens barrel securely, to prevent unnecessary camera shake.

Full HD movie with versatile options including Short movie show mode

The COOLPIX B600 isn’t just about stills: it can shoot beautiful Full HD 1080/60i (50i) movies of parties and events, with 4-Axis Hybrid VR and stereo audio recording. It can also save a frame as a still image while recording a movie. With Short movie show mode, several movie files recorded with a fixed length are automatically combined, preserving your memories as a vibrant 30-second movie clip. Special Effects and four types of soundtrack can be applied according to your intentions.

Your photos are on your smartphone before you know it

SnapBridge eliminates the barrier between your camera and smart device, using Bluetooth® and a dedicated app(*1). By maintaining a constant connection between the two devices, it allows pictures to be transferred automatically from your camera while you shoot. It also offers free, unlimited uploads of thumbnails to the NIKON IMAGE SPACE cloud service(*2), and can embed location, date/time and credit information (i.e. copyright, comments, text and stamps) in your images. Wi-Fi® support further expands wireless connectivity, letting you take a self-portrait from a distance or include yourself in group shots using camera remote control, then wirelessly share your images right away.

*1 Using this service requires installing the SnapBridge app to the smart device prior to use. This can be downloaded from the application store of each smart device (free). *2 Using this service requires customer registration (free).
